PACKET FOR BRAID AND OTHER NARROW FABRICS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 1, 1908.

Application filed April 9, 1908. Serial No. 425,993.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES S. KING, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Pawtucket, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Packets for Braid and other Narrow Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple and convenient protection for braids, tapes, bindings and analogous narrow fabrics, whereby a portion only of the fabric will be exposed to view to enable the character of the protected fabric to be determined with out breaking the wrapper or envelop.

In carrying out my invention I provide a bolt of braid or narrow fabric, the outer or free end of which is attached to the main portion thereof, and in the example illustrated the portion of the braid or fabric on the side opposite the fastened end is extended substantially diagonally along the bolt; the wrapper or envelop is provided with fla s at opposite edges and the main portion of the wrapper is slipped between the bolt and the overlying run of braid or fabric, then folded around the bolt to inclose the same, and the flaps at the ends of the wra per are then folded over the exterior of t e latter and partly over the braid that extends in front of the wrapper, and said flaps are pasted upon the wrapper and close the ends of the latter, thereby protecting the bolt of braid.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein,

Figure 1 is a face view of a bolt of braid protected in accordance with my invention; ig. 2 is a reverse view thereof, partly broken away at one corner; Fig. 3 is a detail per-- spective view showing the wrapper partly in position on the bolt of braid; Fig. 4 is a face view illustrating a further step in placing the wrapper upon the bolt of braid; Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5, 5, in Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows, and Fig. 6 is an edge view of Fig. 4.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.

The numeral 1 indicates a bolt of braid, binding, tape or analogous narrow fabric, in which the fabric is wound upon a core 2, which may be of pasteboard or other suitable material. The outer portion 1 of the braid is shown as passing from near one corner of the bolt, at 3, diagonally across the bolt and carried around on the opposite side of the bolt near the diagonally opposite corner, at 4, and the portion 1 of the braid extends along the opposite side of the bolt and is attached thereto, as by a pin 5. A suitable wrapper 6, which may be of aper of suitable length to fold around the boft and of suitable width to conveniently slide between the bolt and the overlying run of braid or fabric 1, is provided at opposite edges with suitable a s 6 adapted to fold over the opposite on s of the bolt, as shown in Fig. 1. The portion 6 of the wra per 6, made in the manner stated, is first sipped between the bolt and the run of braid 1 until the flaps 6 come near the edge of the bolt, in the manner shown in Figs. 3 and 6, so that the end portions 6 and 6 will extend on opposite sides of the bolt, and then the portion 6 of the wrapper is folded under the bolt and the portion 6 is next folded under the bolt and over the portion 6 whereby the bolt is inclosed by the wrapper as in Fig. 5, the flaps 6 then projecting outwardly as in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The portions 6 of the envelop or wrapper may be pasted to the portion 6 if desired. The fla s 6 are then folded over the ends of the b0 t and over the adjacent exposed portions of the run 1 a of the fabric and pasted down upon the portion 6 of the wrap er, as indicated in Fig. 1. The flaps thus fully close the ends of the wrapper and overlie the portions 3, 4, of the braid, the completed wrapper thereby protecting the braid from injury and soiling at all parts except the portion 1 a that is exposed on the exterior thereof, which serves to permit inspection and examination of the braid or fabric without requiring the removal of the wrapper from the main body of the braid or fabric. By the arrangement shown the braid or fabric is securely fastened at its end and protected so that the end of the fabric will not become loose nor torn away from the wraper. P Having now described my invention what I claim is:

1. An im roved article of commerce comprising a bo t of fabric, and a wrapper provided with flaps at opposite ends, said wrapper being passed between the bolt and an outer run of the fabric which passes around the adjacent edges of the wrapper, the wrapper being folded around the bolt to expose said run of the fabric on the exterior of the wrapper, said flaps being folded over the ends of the bolt and secured to the outer face of the wrapper.

2. An im roved article of commerce com prising a bo t of fabric having its outer end secured to the bolt and a wrapper provided with flaps at opposite ends, said wrapper being passed between the bolt and a run of fabric on the side opposite the fastened end of the fabric, said wrapper being folded around the bolt and said flaps being folded over the ends of the bolt protecting the adjacent fabric and inclosing the fastened end of the fab 1'10.

3. An im roved article of commerce comprising a b0 t of fabric having its outer end secured to the bolt and a wrapper having flaps at opposite ends, said wrapper being passed between a run of the fabric on the side opposite its fastened end exposing said run of 20 fabric, the wrapper folded around the bolt on the side opposite the exposed run of the fabric, said fla s being folded over the ends of the bolt ELIICf OVGI the adjacent run of the fabric that lies over the wrapper.

Signed at New York city, in the county of New York, and State of New York, this 8th day of April, A. D. 1908.

CHAS. S. KING.
